Here's my tip if you've not got any money spare or don't want to spend anyhting don't go in the for sale section and look at anything Jez has posted or you'll find yourself swearing because he's nearly always got something nice that you'd like lol.

To remove rust I'd assume but of fine grade sand paper if its only surface rust, and then polish up with some auotsyl or metal polish of your choice.

Oh and for polishing something like a aluminium frame don't give yourself tired arms go and buy a car polisher you can get em for about 15 quid and will save you a lot of hard work, then just finish off the little bits you couldn't get too with it by hand

Here's a tip I just learned the hard way. When undoing the damper end cap of Manitou Mach 5SX forks don't forget to remove the main spring first, otherwise you will be greeted by a high pressure radial jet of 2.5wt fork oil all over you and your workshop!!

If you gash the sidewall of a tyre and it has not gone all the way through save it by backing it with a patch of old innertube, superglued to the inside of the tyre, and then super glue the split. Leave over night and it will cure the tyre in 90% of cases.
